Understanding the principles of endgame strategy is essential for converting advantages from "summary" of Chess Strategy by Ėduard Efimovich Gufelʹd,Eduard Gufeld,Nikolai Kalinichenko

To become a successful chess player, one must grasp the fundamental principles of endgame strategy. It is not enough to simply obtain an advantage in the middle game; one must be able to convert that advantage into a win in the endgame. This requires a deep understanding of the unique dynamics of the endgame, where the number of pieces on the board is reduced, and every move becomes critical. In the endgame, the value of each piece increases significantly, as there are fewer pieces to work with. Pawns, in particular, become powerful assets in the endgame, as they have the potential to promote to a more valuable piece. Understanding how to leverage the power of pawns and other pieces in the endgame is crucial for converting advantages into wins. Endgame strategy also involves accurate calculation and precise calculation of variations. In the endgame, the margin for error is much smaller, as a single mistake can easily turn a winning position into a draw or even a loss. Players must be able to calculate accurately and foresee potential pitfalls in order to navigate the complexities of the endgame successfully. Moreover, endgame strategy requires patience and perseverance. It is not uncommon for endgames to last for dozens of moves, with both players maneuvering carefully to gain an advantage. Players must be willing to grind out a win in the endgame, even if it means sacrificing material or enduring a long and arduous battle.
